Install GitBucket on Ubuntu 16.04

In this article, we will explain how to install GitBucket on an Ubuntu 16.04 VPS with Nginx as a reverse proxy. GitBucket is a Git platform powered by Scala with Github API compatibility. Some of the main features include public and private Git repositories, plug-in system, wiki, online editor, notifications …etc. This guide should work on other Linux VPS systems as well but was tested and written for an Ubuntu 16.04 VPS.

Open http://myGitbucket.com/ in your favorite web browser and you should see the GitBucket home page. The default username and password are both root.

That’s it. You have successfully installed GitBucket on your Ubuntu 16.04 VPS. For more information about how to manage your GitBucket installation, please refer to the official GitBucket website.

Of course you don’t have to do any of this if you use one of our Linux VPS Hosting services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to setup this for you. They are available 24×7 and will take care of your request immediately.
